Hellebores
Hellebores are a garden treasure celebrated for their delicate, nodding blooms that emerge in winter or early spring, offering brightness to dormant landscapes. Their long-lasting flowers display an array of colors ranging from creamy whites and soft pinks to deep purples, with some boasting intricate speckled patterns or contrasting centers.
How to Choose
Flower color and markings: Colors run from cream and green to plum and near-black, with speckles, picotee edges and doubles.
Flower presentation: Some varieties nod downward and others face outward, which matters most when planted along a path.
Foliage quality: Leathery, sometimes silver-marbled leaves carry the plant long after the flowers fade.
Bloom timing: Early types open around the holidays; later ones extend the season well into spring.
